Family Learning

Family Literacy, Language & Numeracy

Family Literacy, Language and Numeracy works in partnership with schools, nurseries, children's centres, extended schools and mums and toddler groups.  The scheme helps parents and carers to:

  • Find ways of support their child's learning.
  • Share activities with children that will help to develop their literacy, language and numeracy skills.
  • Develop their own skills in English and Maths so that they can support their children at school.
  • Get nationally recognised qualifications for themselves.

For more information ring  0161 253 5766.

"It was good to work with my son and to see how he is taught at school.  I've improved my own skills and feel  more confident about writing" - Student quote.
